I have several if you still need it. One should note that if you are going to try and subscribe to programming you need to make sure that the ID# is not locked to a programmer. Get the unit ID before buying it and contact the programer to make sure they can turn it on. Some of these IRDs...

I have a DSR4410 and am trying to get it to work on FTA I have set up a lot of these at cable headends on DC2 encoded channels but can not get it to work on FTA. I have one setup as DVB-MAN on Galaxy 18 and it locks onto the video using the MPEG select menu ch # but does not lock onto the...

This thread was not about the voom receiver it was about the older HITS receivers. They are DCII only. And were used with old rebranded Primestar LNBs. The Voom receiver has VideoGuard and DCII encription. And is compatable with both DCII and DVB FTA signals. But has the same problem this...

The voom remote will work with this receiver but the remote has nothing to do with the voom service its just a rebranded motorola remote. You will see the same rebranded remote on new digital cable boxes. The problem is that the receiver has no L.O. Setting so it requires a 10750 LNB. The...

This is a deep fringe area those type of antennas wont work here. They only pick up 1 or 2 channels. Intresting thing is they have that channel on the Dish but they wont give it to us because the say we are outside the area.

Check that you have compression fittings on the ends of the cables and not the crimp on types. Also check for RG6 cable. And be sure the dish is aimed for max signal. Modern cell phones should not be causing that problem.

You have a 2 receiver box so you have 2 options. 1 Use the DishPro+ LNB with a switch at the receiver to connect both tunners or. 2 Run 2 wires to the dish one for each receiver input. Then run check switch and everything will be ok.

Has anyone else been contacted by dish offering to install a free over the air antenna? My sister has and I want to know what model and brand antenna they are providing. I have lots of these old Voom antennas and I don't want these dish service hacks messing up a system I sold and...

You need to ground it by the electric code. Never install a second ground rod without bonding it to your existing ground rod with #6 wire. Same rule for cable,phone & satellite. Falure to do so will create ground loops that could destroy your equipment.

Yes I found that back in jan. Back then it was on ch 32 and running messages from charlie. Very strong and clear.

Yes you can and I have seen adapters but you can most likely make your own. You can use 1 wire you would need a switch at the lnb. Most FTA receivers support the switches but the old C band receivers and 4dtv do not. Just put your FTA receiver inline first and loop to your cband receiver...

The LO in these receivers is hard coded to the standard LNBS. They will not work on a cband LNB because you can not change the LO. This is the same problem we have with the Voom Receivers.

Sorry that will not work the LO on the cband LNB is not the same as the KU. I tried to lock onto the channel maps on C band and it won't work.

I had one of these but sold it. From what I have read it should be able to get DCII FTA if you can get it to load the channel maps. I tried but mine would not load any channel maps. It is setup to use a primestar type KU LNB. The remote uses the same code as a Voom Remote so you can just use...

Try the software on the TwinHan website it may work on your card. I have a DST-1000 and it works. AM having flakey results with progdvb.
